Umayodus is an extinct genus of "condylarth" mammal from the late Paleocene or the earliest Eocene.[1] It is a didolodontid which lived in what is now Peru. It is known from the holotype LU3-801, an isolated right third molar, which was found in the Muñani Formation of Laguna Umayo, Peru. It was first named by Javier N. Gelfo and Bernard Sigé in 2011 and the type species is Umayodus raimondi.[2]
